Set imeOptions to "actionSearch" in your xlm for edit text

Initialize listeners for your EditText

searchEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
        if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH) {
            performSearch();
            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }
});

Hide keyboard when user clicks search. 

private void performSearch() {
    searchEditText.clearFocus();
    InputMethodManager in = (InputMethodManager)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    in.hideSoftInputFromWindow(searchEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
    ... perform search ...
}
